Baxi Neta Tec - anyone fitted one yet?

[Billy Bob Bob]

I would rather have the 5 year guarantee.

yea thats fair enough what you say,me i would rather have reliability

 

[mak]

fitted 4 altogether , one had a naf divertor valve .also had problems with the initial aeration at start up on all of them.baxi engineer told me to leave link in before wiring up while aeration is in progress and to keep the hot tap running to keep it cool so ill try that on the next one i fit.just think its a few teething problems with the boiler tbh

If there are any long term problems I am sure they will sort they within the 5 years LOL.

Ok changed the gas valve for the one in office now managed to get it to fire but during the gas type check it kept getting to max temperature and turning off so I thought ill keep the hot tap running and it completed the cycle . Sorted but now the heating won't work temperature just goes up too max and cuts out but no heat coming out the flow hope u guys are right and its the diverter just waiting for the Nazi man too show up

Just finished fitting another one today. Worked 100%.

The majority of these parts (Generic) are used in other manufactures boilers if you look hard enough. Agree there is no excuse for failure within 4 weeks of instalation..For what its worth most of the ones i have been (Roughly about 5 all netatecs) to are Baxi wireless setting up problems..Best advice i can give, Fit a Honeywell/Drayton single channel timeclock and RF/Wired thermostat.

 

[Heating-eng]

They seemed to have changed the blow off design on the netatecs already. It's now on the left.

 

[Heating-eng]

Fitting another tomorrow.

wish they would put the pressure gauge on the front its stupid under the boiler same place as the old puma

Yep I agree, does not look good. Also the front panel doesn't fit very well and could do with been better quality, really bad on duotec.

is there a big difference in price between the duotec2 and netatec on say a 28kw?

 

[Heating-eng]

Not sure, I fitted a 40 kw duotec the other day , it was about £900 I think.
The 24kw Neta is about £600 ish and the 28 is about £650 ish inc.
Not fitted any other duotecs.

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

about the same price wise as the mk1 duotec/heatmax

 

[Heating-eng]

Think it's the 5 year guarantee that is selling them at the moment, not sure what I will be fitting next year when that runs out.

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

yes probably as you know you only get 2 years with the mk1 and thats if your in the worx scheme,saying that i have loads of 6 year old platinum's with the 5 year warranty never seen heatteam then some the fan has died on swings and roundabouts i suppose

 

[Heating-eng]

I will see who offers a 5 year warranty and take it from there.
Got to say I do like the netatec though, small, cheap and built by baxi.

 

[Poxi]

cheap and built by baxi.

Ahhh those famous words LOL
